Do I need to get a ferry? No. If you are travelling to us from further south or the east coast via Glasgow you can drive along the M8 west and cross the Erskine Bridge. From here follow the A82 to Tarbet then turn left onto the A83 and over the beautiful "Rest And Be Thankful". Before you reach Cairndow, turn left onto the A815 and follow that road directly to the Holy Loch Marina and Dunoon. If you are travelling from the north of Scotland you want to travel to Tarbet approaching from the A82 passing Loch Lomond on your left. From Tarbet you will follow the same A83 and A815 roads to the Holy Loch Marina and Dunoon. Postcode is PA23 8FE. How much does the ferry cost? Western Ferries pricing > How long does the ferry take? A normal ferry crossing will take approximately 20 minutes. View timetable > Do I need to book the ferry in advance? No. Western Ferries run on a "Turn Up & Go" basis so there is no advanced bookings. Ferries run every 20-30 minutes so if you miss one, you will not have long to wait until the next one. We strongly advice that you purchase tickets BEFORE getting on the ferry as they are much cheaper. You can buy them online or at these ticket agents.

Yes. We can arrange pickups from Glasgow Airport. These will be via local taxi companies who have the ability to provide extra trailer storage for groups carrying additional luggage. Contact us directly for prices and more information.

If you decide to fly up to visit us, the easiest way would be to use the wide range of car hire options within Glasgow Aiport itself. Please click here for further information.

We can take up to 8 single cylinder or twinset divers or a maximum of 6 CCR divers.

Yes, it is. From the marina you can step across onto a solid platform and down our custom made steps so it is as easy as possible. The steps are then removed or stowed until we need to disembark.

No, but we do have a custom made rigid ladder which is easy to climb even with full kit. Stage bottles and other dangly bits will be taken off you before you come up the ladder. If you prefer to fully de-kit in the water to make the ladder even easier pleaser let the skipper know and we will be happy to assist. If you have any concerns, please get in touch or check out the “Our Boat” page on the website where you can see divers using the ladder.

Yes we do. We can fill both 232 and 300 bar cylinders on site at the Holy Loch Marina. Please make sure your cylinders are in test.

As of March 2025, yes, we do. We have 32% nitrox which is banked so it can be supplied fairly quickly. If you require other mixes up to 100% then please give us as much notice as possible as these fills take longer to complete and may require you leaving your cylinders with us. Please make sure your cylinders are in test and have a valid O2 clean.

Yes we can.

The diving here is varied as is much of the UK. When it rains a lot, the conditions can be dark and murky, and when the weather has been good for a while the visibility improves as does the light.

There are numerous intact shipwrecks and scenic dive options in the Clyde from 5-50m+. There is always somewhere to run for shelter. The marine life is incredible.

You have a few options here… ONLINE You can book directly online by visiting the “SCUBA DIVING” page for our diving trips. Here you can select a trip and then you will then be taken to our booking site (Bookeo) where you can choose a date that is available, and complete your booking there. During this process, you will only be able to see dates and spaces that are currently available. If they are not showing, then this means we are either fully booked at that time, or we are chartering from a different pickup location. An example of this would be that if a group of 5 divers had booked a day’s diving from Holy Loch Marina, you would not be able to book 2 divers on an Inverkip pickup. You can always contact us if you have any questions, and keep an eye out on our socials where we regularly post where are planning to dive. IN STORE You can visit us at the Holy Loch Marina and come see us in our shop which is the one with a Blue and White Wreckspeditions sign above it. Here you book and pay by card/cash.

There will always be a sign on our door if nobody is in store with our contact information on it. OVER THE PHONE We are happy to take bookings and enquiries over the phone.
